| Round hole, small opening |
Light |
V-shaped pinch bail with zircon accent — closes by hand, no tool needed |
Compare the hole diameter with the clip opening on the variant you select. A round hole lets the clip pivot, so check whether a jump ring is needed to stop rotation. |
| Round hole, wider opening |
Light to medium |
Same pinch bail if the clip closes onto the pendant edge without forcing |
Hole diameter plus pendant thickness where the clip closes. If it only grazes the rim, use a jump ring adapter instead of squeezing harder. |
| Oval or teardrop hole |
Light to medium |
Pinch bail plus a small jump ring to stabilise the hanging angle |
The narrowest span of the opening. A clip on the widest point slides and tilts the pendant; seat it on the narrow end and recheck the hang. |
| Irregular or hand-drilled hole |
Light |
Pinch bail with a jump ring, or a screw-type finding if the rim is uneven |
The smallest span across the opening, and inspect the rim for burrs. A rough edge stops the clip closing flush, so smooth it before attaching. |
| Smooth drilled hole, solid drop |
Medium — the published limit of this bail |
V-shaped pinch bail, used at the top of its stated light-to-medium range |
Finished pendant weight in grams, and the grip after a firm press. Test one bail from the lot before the full run. |
| Heavy plate or stone-set drop |
Above the published range |
Not this pinch bail — choose a screw, snap or soldered finding |
Weigh the finished drop first: hand-closed clips are not right for a heavy pendant, however well the hole fits. |
| Chain pairing and finish match |
Any within the published range |
This bail is stated as compatible with copper chains for a consistent look |
The internal gap of the chain end link and the bail's top loop. No chain gauge is published, so compare both with calipers before buying matching lots. |
